MACHINE FOR PERFORAT-ING RECORID-STRIPS.

SPECIFIGATION'forming part of Letters Patent'No. 663,996, dated December l8, 1900 Application filed December 31, 1897. 7 Serial lilo. 664,975. (1% model.)

To all whom/it may concern: Be itknown that I, TOLBERT LANSTON, of Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Preparing Perforated; Record-Strips of Type-Forming Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and to the characters of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to and constitutes an improvement upon the class of machines described in my prior patent, No. 590,763, of September 28, 1897.

The machine is specially organized for the economical, expeditious, and accurate production of perforated record or controlling strips employed in connection with type-machines belonging to What is known .as the Lanston monotype system, wherein and whereby justified lines of types are produced prearranged order and system, said record: strip serving as the controlling medium for governing the operations of the mechanisms employed in the formation and assembling of the types.

For convenience of description the devices which go to make up the complete perforating machine may be divided into groupsmore or less connected and related to each other, but each having immediate reference to certain designated operations or functions of the machine considered as a whole. These groups or divisions are, first, the paper-feeding mechanism for advancing the strip at regular intervals and holding it in position to receive the punches; second, the punching mechanism, by means of which the perforations are made in the record-strip, said perforations being properly distributed or multiplied, so as to represent the separate types, points, spaces, &c., pertaining to the selected font and to govern their body widths, while certain other perforations control the setting of the justifying mechanism and inaugurate the movement of the galley mechanism at the completion of each line; third, the line-registering mechanism for indicating the amount ing toward the lifting-bars.

sixth, the keyboard mechanism, operating either mediately or immediately upon the before-mentioned mechanisms to control their -move1nents, and, seventh, the resetting de- Ivices for restoring the mechanism to its normal or zero position after the record for a line has been completed and preliminary to the formation of a record for the next succeeding line.

' With this preliminary explanation I will vproceed to explain the details of the several mechanisms and their correlation, specifying in the appended claims the novel features of my present invention. and .assembledin proper form according to a Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the complete machine.
